Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Woow that pic. I don't remember both cars were mentionned. Strange, I notice only #028. I will update the site.

Any news about #031 Erik ?

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Made some slight updates to the original post based on new info received for #066 and #072.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

My friend just snapped this one. 028 in McLaren's Palo Alto showroom?



Also, anyone have more information on the Houston F1s?

Edit: Nevermind, just confirmed it via Peloton's flickr. Still looking for info in the 2 (supposedly) Houston F1s.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

You mean 4 Houston F1s, right?

#065 and #066 seem to remain hidden within a private collection. I'm now certain they are both there though.

#036 comes and goes from Houston and is probably the only one you'd have a chance of seeing given that the owner actually drives the car.

#072 is reportedly coming to Houston when its refit is completed at the factory. I'm not sure what the timing would be on that. My new friends at the factory are friendly people, but still careful not to tell me anything I don't already know.

#013 is down in Dallas now. I suspect its owner will be driving it but haven't seen any evidence of that yet.

= = = =

Thanks for the new shot from McLaren SF.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

McLaren SF's Formula One car has arrived. s



That's a 2001 MP4-16 formerly driven by David Coulthard. Looks a bit naked - needs its WEST decals back.

Old school photoset of #062 when Larry Ellison still owned it.

Another video of #028 in McL SF's showroom set to some very compelling music.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

McLaren San Francisco had an owner's gathering at the dealership this past weekend to celebrate the delivery of their first 12C. It included a visit by Antony Sheriff from the UK who is the Managing Director of McLaren Automotive and Tony Joseph who heads up their US operations in New York.

During the event several more 12Cs "happened to arrive via transporter" for a few more of their customers.

Also in attendance was one silver McLaren F1 (#062) in addition to the red F1 (#028) that is being kept on the showroom floor. All told I think there were 10 McLarens in one spot that day which must have been quite a sight to see. Since most of us weren't there, we'll have to enjoy this gallery on Photobucket instead.

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Cool !

Yesterday, I was at the delivery of a friend. He has a special feature on the car, I think unique

I missed to go to the workshop where there are 8 12C including Dennis's

Re: Recap of the North American F1 fleet

Jay Leno chose to drive his F1 on New Year's Day.

Here it is not far from my house at the top of one of the greatest roads in SoCal. Sadly I missed it and so did a couple of friends who are usually hanging out there.

This one really highlights how good the proportions and packaging are.

Lovely shot.
